The EMSE Master's curriculum requires each student to complete 12 graduate level courses totaling 36 credit hours. Three types of course requirements are included in the master's curriculum -- common course requirements, focus course requirements, and approved electives. Common course requirements are courses taken by all students in the EMSE Master's program. Focus course requirements are taken by all students within the area of focus and may vary by degree option and field of study within the focus. Approved elective requirements are courses that require the approval of the student's individual academic advisor. A focus area may specify a set of pre-approved electives.
